Hellfish Haven

In part three of my Oscar Mike Radio series on J.J. Millett, I sit down with his aunt, Emily Wheeler, to share a story that demands attention and action. Emily describes J.J. as a kind, respectful Army National Guard veteran who served in Afghanistan and later battled PTSD after returning home.
We talked about the moment everything changed. In February, while experiencing severe side effects from VA-prescribed medication, J.J. did what we ask our veterans to do: reach out for help and call a mental health crisis hotline. He cooperated fully with the authorities. Yet today, he faces serious charges that could lead to a 20-year sentence.
In this episode, I share Emily’s perspective and why she is urging the public to act. We discuss the dangerous precedent of criminalizing veterans for seeking mental health support, and how that could discourage others from reaching out when they need it most.

If this story moves you, I encourage you to make your voice heard:

We need to amplify this story, not just for J.J., but for veterans everywhere who are fighting battles most people never see.
J.J., you are not alone.

Justice For JJ thanks Oscar Mike Radio for highlighting this heartbreaking story!

Welcome to SITREP Saturday, your weekly tactical pause for the mind and soul. In this edition of W.A.R. [We Are Resilient], we step back from the noise of the week to process our experiences and recalibrate our mental clarity. Resilience isn't just about enduring the grind; it's about the intentional recovery and self-reflection that turns challenges into wisdom. Join us as we debrief on our collective wins, share wellness strategies for lasting endurance, and set a grounded, purposeful intention for the week ahead. Reconnect with your "why," recharge your spirit, and remember: we don't just weather the storm—we learn how to navigate it.

Stay grounded. Stay mindful. Stay Resilient.

Tonight on WAR: We Are Resilient, we’re breaking down Sustainable Resilience—what it actually means, what it doesn’t, and how to build it without burning yourself out.

March wasn’t about going full throttle. It was about learning how to hold the line when motivation dips, stress stacks up, and life starts testing your perimeter.

We’re talking:

The difference between burnout and real resilience
Small, repeatable habits that actually stick
Mental health strategies that don’t feel like a second job
How to stay mission-ready without running yourself into the ground

This isn’t motivation fluff. This is practical, battle-tested mindset work for veterans and anyone navigating pressure, transition, or isolation.

If you’ve been running on fumes, this one’s your reset point.

Drop in the chat, sound off, and let’s build something that lasts.
